Kramerbooks is a bit of an institution here in DC. It’s a phenomenal bookstore, cafe and bar that’s open late until 4am on the weekends! It’s mostly a favorite amongst my friends as a go-to place for a late night dessert. A group of us went there after dinner the other night after my birthday dinner. Usually, I don’t like waiting for a table, but here it’s no problem at all. I love perusing through the books while waiting. Unlike most  big box chain bookstores, this one is much more eclectic where it’s almost impossible to leave without buying something cool.

We finally arrived at our table and I tried to decide what to order. Everything on the menu looked fabulous, but I was in the mood for something simple, so I went with a chocolate chip ice cream sandwich with whipped cream and hot fudge. Do I really need to say anything more? It was everything I could have asked for in an ice cream sandwich. The cookie was nice and soft, the ice cream was creamy and the hot fudge melted everything into one big gooey mess. It was wonderful!
